Daniel Pitout (born January 6, 1988), known professionally as Orville Peck, is a South African country musician based in the United States and Canada. He is well-known for wearing a mask and not showing his face publicly. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Contents

He released his debut album Pony in 2019, [1] followed by the EP Show Pony the next year. His second studio album Bronco was released in 2022. Following a self-imposed hiatus in 2023, Peck released his third studio album Stampede in 2024. Orville’s voice is described as “deep, calm bass-baritone that recalls the bygone era of Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison; the haunting guitar riffs drift between rockabilly, blues, and dreamy shoegazing distortions." [5]

Early life

Peck was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and lived there until he was 15. [6] As a child, he taught himself music by playing an acoustic guitar and an old Casio keyboard. [7] He is the son of a sound engineer, and he did voice-over work for cartoons and other media as a child. [8] Growing up, he took ballet classes for 12 years, and performed in musical theatre productions. By the time he was in his early 20s, he had been on national tours of musicals. [8]

Peck moved to London for a foundation degree in acting from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art in 2014. [9] He then played Jonathan Harris/Peter Pan in the Mischief Theatre production of Peter Pan Goes Wrong at the Apollo Theatre in 2016. [10] [11]

Peck self-produced his debut album, Pony, and released it in 2019 through a collaboration with Sub Pop. [12] He has noted that he "wrote, produced and played every instrument he could" on the album while working in a coffee shop and living with his parents. [13] In June of that year, he performed his songs "Dead of Night" and "Take You Back" live on CBC Radio One's Q . [14] Pony was named to the initial longlist for the 2019 Polaris Music Prize in June 2019. [15] The album also received a Juno Award nomination for Alternative Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2020. [16]

Also in 2019, he started an annual Orville Peck's Rodeo, which takes place in different cities across the US and brings in up-and-comers in the country music genre. [17]

On April 5, 2024, Peck released a cover of Ned Sublette's "Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly Fond of Each Other" with country musician Willie Nelson as the lead single from Stampede , Peck's third studio album and first duets album. The single marked his first release on Warner Records. [27] Peck also announced a headlining North American tour, The Stampede Tour, which began on May 28, 2024, in Asheville, North Carolina.

Artistry

Identity

It has been confirmed that Orville Peck is a persona of Daniel Pitout, drummer of the Canadian punk band Nü Sensae. [30] It was previously speculated that Pitout was Peck based on the similarity of their tattoos, [31] [32] and Peck's mentioning that he was in a punk band. Pitout was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, [33] as was Peck. [6] Pitout is also listed by ASCAP as the songwriter for Peck's song "Old River" [34] and other songs that match the titles of the songs released by Peck, such as "Roses Are Falling". [35]

Influences

In his interview to National Public Radio on June 18, 2019, Orville said: "I've never raised cattle or anything like that, but I think I've been a cowboy my whole life." [36]
